John 11:19 — Meaning and Application

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had {lain} in the grave four days already.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: {about...: that is, about two miles}

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat {still} in the house.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
